Application for gathering data

Hi,
I need some solutions for these questions:
1. Is it possible to create Web server to collect information from remote devices by using Delphi 2010 Professional. the idea is to send data from many sources to one point and allow specific customer to check these data.
2. If it`s possible to create such app which components should i use.
3. what do i need besides Delphi to create such app.

Make use of web services and sql database...

A good book to learn about implementing web services with Delphi 2010 is...

Delphi 2010 XML, SOAP and Web Services courseware manual

For a free SQL database I recommend SQLLite...

Hi Geert,
I`ve spent a couple days with tutorials - i think that the best option is to use Delphi Prism as Ewan said in first reply. Of course as always the money are main problem. I`ll try to dig deeper and try to solve my problem and idea with D2010 prof. We will see am I able to do this.
I have seen the bob tutorials - great job - the problem is connected with a large number of solutions and possibilities - I have no idea what should i choose.
I`m trying to create a cgi module for server - it will allow me to configure the gprs modems to send data up there.

We have already pointed the Author in the correct direction and the information given in this thread should be a good guide towards a proper solution be it in Delphi PRISM, C#
